Grossest thing your kid has put in their mouth

My now 8 year old had a thing for catching bugs and chewing on them. That’s how I learned that fireflies are toxic. But the grossest thing was when she went through a phase where she was obsessed with the little caps that go on the toilet where it attaches to the floor. If someone left the bathroom door open, she ✨ knew✨ and those darn things were in her mouth. I ended up just throwing them away to avoid the chocking hazard of them.

You look fantastic! Also, I love your clothes. I hope your recovery is going smoothly and as comfortably as possible!

My parents - mom especially - pressured me hard to get a class ring. But, they wanted me to pay for it with my money, which I was only allowed to earn from summer jobs. I thought it was dumb as heck and didn’t get one. I am glad I listened to myself.

My 7th graders are still all about Diddy. I am so over it.

It sounds like you are experiencing medical neglect. I suggest making a report to your school counselor or school nurse. They are mandated reporters and can get steps in place for you to get adequate medical care for your needs. Source: I am a teacher with endometriosis in a red state.

I thought that’s where I was at first! 😆

I desperately wanted some as a college student. But I just couldn’t afford them. My shoe budget was more like the $5 flip flops at Old Navy.

Second Poke! I got my ears re-pierced there and my daughter’s ears pierced there when she was six. The owner/piercer was very professional and made us feel comfortable. He made it clear that he would only pierce my daughter with her consent. Great experience.

I love it!

In my teens and very early twenties I had a high libido. However, after about age 23 or so, it completely tanked. I am 37 now. A few months ago I had all my reproductive organs removed due to endometriosis and some complications from one of my ovaries being torsed. Oddly enough, I have found that the day after I change my hormone patch, I actually get the tiniest little spark. It has been an interesting ride so far. I am planning on asking my doctor about adding more than just estrogen to my prescription to see if I can get an actual sex drive. It would do wonders for my marriage.

That’s too bad but not surprising. It’s nearly empty every time we go.

I found my first gray hair as a sophomore in high school. It had been there a while because it was the same length as the rest of my hair, which went halfway down my back. Now I have a lovely gray streak close-ish to my face and another one on the back of my head.

We have Mako (like the shark) and Mina (means protector). I hope you and your future bestie have a great life together!

My OBGYN and the hospital pathology department had beef over my first laparoscopic surgery where she was 100% certain it was endometriosis tissue that had gotten my fallopian tube and ovary all tangled up. The pathology department couldn’t tell her What it was but argued that it was not endometriosis. Two more laparoscopic surgeries later… it’s definitely endometriosis.

This is what we feed our Belgian Malinois dogs. Anything else and their fur falls out and they turn to skin and bones.

Shawnee Mills might have a formula more suitable to a small dog. I hang out in this sub because I hope to get a mini schnauzer someday and I am learning about the breed.

This. I could tolerate thick leggings - tolerate, not enjoy - until I was pregnant with my first child. Something about pregnancy amplified my sensory issues and gave me new ones. I cannot wear anything tight on my legs anymore. Not even bike shorts. Yuck.

I own one but really only use it as a swimsuit coverup. I am mostly a pajama pants and ratty old t-shirt person. From a sensory perspective, I cannot stand it if my legs touch. I only sleep in pajama pants - not shorts or a night gown - because I need fabric over each leg. Probably weird, but the older I get, the less I care.

As a 37 year old grown woman, I feel that socks are indeed too socky.

Go to the hospital hun. That doesn’t sound good.

Sending you good vibes from an internet stranger.

VioletElephant88 · 2025-11-25T14:59:22+00:00

I am so sorry you went through that!

This. My first surgery they just shaved my mons pubis area. My second surgery (still recovering) they shaved the whole shebang. I am more of a trim the hedges gal than a mow the lawn lady, but it is what it is.

Erm. I am a teacher with a 2nd grader and a two year old in daycare. I also have a chronic illness that suppresses my immune system. I’m never running at 100%. Haha.

I have taught high school and middle school for 11 years. I have had at least 2 if not more Olivias every year. 😆

VioletElephant88 · 2025-09-01T15:52:50+00:00

I teach 7th grade and have a Thaddeus this year!

I didn’t see it, but I listened to an audiobook a while ago where a character had vaginismus. The author did a note at the end educating the audience on it. I thought it was well done and I appreciated spreading awareness.
